&lt;p&gt;Below are a few of my thoughts on this:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Do:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Build a product that solves a complete problem, not just a part of it&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Think long term, execute short term. Have a clear vision and direction.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Iterate at the speed of light (to follow your vision)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Keep the product quality very high&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Be extremely passionate about your product and hire someone who is&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Make sure you are building something that you will use regularly&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Don&amp;rsquo;t:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Don't launch features just for the heck of it. Have a long term plan and track it.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;If you can't explain what you do in 10 words, you don't have focus&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Don't over-engineer. Worry about scaling when you have to, not before that.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Don't hire too many people in your team that are in management role until you have to&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
